Summary/Abstract: The paper summarizes institutional factors that matter for implementing the policy of support for business succession by European Union member states. Describing challenges for family business in Europe is the starting point for the discussion. The main part focuses on the analysis of the EU documents in favour of ownership transfer and succession of enterprises. Paper provides an analysis of legal, administrative and institutional factors (but from the point of view of economics and management sciences) on the basis of the recommendations made by the European Commission on conducting the policy of support for business succession by member states, worked out on the basis of reports assessing the implementation progress of member states in this scope.
